Klitschko vs Brewster training and press conference pics...

No way Brewster is cooked...He fought without vision in one of his eyes and still almost pulled it off...Brewster has been threw less beatings than Wlad, and has showed more heart when tested with such a fighter....I love Wlad's skill and size in the HW division but one thing remains true with Klitschko - IT ONLY TAKES ONE GOOD SHOT.

 

You know as well as I do that when that good shot lands he is not the same....Sanders got him with the first one and he was wondering around getting pummelled for two rounds....Brewster caught him and he stumbled around and ended up getting leveled at the bell and having no clue of where he was at.....Did he get up from the shots? YES...Was he able to recover from the shots? NO....This means you can land that good shot and affect him for a good period of time....

Did he hang in with Peter? Yeah but those were more pushes behind the head and not a true test of the chin....

Should Wlad win? YES....Do I think he will win? YES....I'm just saying I would never put my $$$ on him because if that left hook lands and sends him down ***** street I don't know if he will fight back or wonder around lost until he gets finished off.

 

If Manny uses the blueprint from Lewis vs Tua it should be an easy fight.

 

You make a very good point there about Wladimir being hurt and taking a long time to recover after a big blow. Same exact thing happened in the 10th round against Peter, Wladimir was dropped and he just stayed on the ropes for the last 30 seconds totally lost while Peter was throwing, if 1 minute was left instead of 30 seconds I believe Peter would've finished it that round because Wladimir wasn't doing anything at that point and looked totally exhausted. Above all, very good point.

 

Yeah I felt the same way about the Peter fight but I gave him the benefit of the doubt for coming back after the 4th or 5th or whenever the behind-the-head shots were landed.

 

Yes it did take some time even though on his own website Vitali said this in an interview recently.

------------------

Vitali, we know that you don’t like to forecast. But do you think the fight will end by a knockout?

No one knows what will happen, until the actual fight ends. But considering Wladimir’s and Lamon’s records, where most of their wins came by a knockout, it’s possible to guess, and with certain confidence, that it’s highly unlikely that the fight will go to the judge’s score cards. This fight will end with a knockout.
In this fight Wladimir has a chance to put an end to all the questions about what took place three years ago - did Wlaidmir simply lose the fight or was it due to outside influence

Wladimir is a class act however and I'm sure he meant what he said anyway, the first fight is history and all the excuses that came after it. Now is the time to concentrate on the rematch.

 

It was in the 5th round and I believe that Wladimir was nailed with a big punch first then Peter continued throwing and the 2nd one came right at the back of the head which put Wladimir down, he didn't seem hurt at all when he got up which proves that it wasn't 100% legit but if you go down after a punch it's a knockdown regardless. The 2nd knockdown was more weird than anything, Peter was charging in and before he lands anything Wladimir slips down. Don't forget that whenever Peter would land anything big Wladimir would give Peter his back and walk away to try and get the referee to break them to give Wladimir room, that was obviously a tactic and as Peter noticed this happening over and over during the fight(which is basically robbing him off any oppurtunity he gets during the fight after eating A LOT of hard jabs and straight rights) so Peter would whack him behind the head in return of Wladimir's own actions. Unfair?, at least I didn't think so.

 

Widdow,

So if Wlad was tired in the 5th against Lamon and got caught what is going to happen if a conditioned Brewster comes in and catches a winded Wlad in the championship rounds?

I never said it is one punch that takes him out, however it is one punch that alters his mindset and gameplan when he is hurt. He is terrible at holding on taking time to recover via clinching, moving etc. He looks completely lost when that good shot lands. You can train and train and train on how to fight but you can't make someone's chin instantly better. Why do you think Steward has him staying at distance, using his size, and clinching? Yes it is certainly effective for him but he also has him doing it because if he trades frequently inside more than not he will be the one getting caught and not recovering.

Like I said before I think your guy will win, but I guarantee to do so he will have to take Lamon's shot and we don't if he can or not.

 

Yes I know that Wladimir took bombs early, I never said he didn't or he can't take it. The reason why he recovered there and avoided not getting stopped is the bell and the 1 minute in between rounds which basically saved him from a possible stoppage.

 

I know that this post was to WiDDoW but I'm going to comment about Brewster catching Wladimr in the championship rounds. When Wladimir is hurt, he moves/holds..etc and finds a way to get out of it. Brewster is a horrible finisher in my opinion, just look at the 5th round of the first fight, he had Wladimir DEAD tired and the only punch he landed was the hook which sent Wladimir to the ropes, after Byrd counted that as a knockdown all Brewster did was miss, miss, miss till the bell rang. Like he had a guy TOTALLY defenseless and tired yet he couldn't do anything but land that first hook.

 

If Wlad had a Great Chin he would have the potential to be up there with the greats.....all the talent is there.....what lacks is the something extra to put him over the top whether its the chin, heart, training, determination, etc....I hope he proves me wrong does work and cleans up the division because god knows boxing and the HW division needs that.
